Depending on how philosophical you want to make it, the characters could discuss the possibility of that in the comic.

If the big bad was an elder god, or just a petulant human adult, half the fear would be trying to figure out exactly what it has the power to do.

As I recall, this guy once defeated a superhero by going back in time and molesting her as a child so he could exploit her PTSD. 'cause he thought it would be a funny way to to do it.

I recently marathoned the whole series and they always came up with some fuckery to nerf him. Admittedly there would be no plot if the main protagonist could just incinerate literally anyone bar Michael and fucking God in an istant.

Great series tho.

As he gained more and more awareness of his powers the Authority bought time until all of the past experiences of the Doctors\Shaman caught up with him and he was overwhelmed with empathy.

then they drop kicked his head off when his time was up.

>>91002523
If I recall correctly, his powers stem from a collective of spiritual guides that protect humanity; think the Avatar on a much grander scale. Humanity's current inheritor of the Doctor title pushes the full weight of the gifts onto him, sacrificng the entire lineage so this fuck can gain all their memories and full power.

And their empathy.

Now a geonicidal dickbag and also a living avatar of compassion, he has a nervous breakdown and begs for the heroes to kill him.

The Mask arguably.
Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40000.
Reboot.
Anything where the struggle is against nature or radiation.
Reboot if the User counts as an antagonist.

If you're a damn good writer who actually come with a closure that DOESN'T include:

a) The antagonist sides the protagonist because friendship
b) He/she loses by DEM, nothing less
c) He/she actually wins and fuck everyone for the evulz
d) He/she loses, but everything points that because he/she did let the protagonis(s) win
e) You know it doesn't matter the answer, because an all mighty antagonist is the dullest idea

Wrong faggot, time specifically works against them. They're constantly coming back to life for the pure displeasure of being tortured for all of entirety. They all had flaws that were their major downbringing and is a reason why the AI was in control with such power, without these faults or the ability to overcome it, they might have a chance, they don't, everything they do is futile.

>White chicks mutation make her superpale
>black chick mutation make her charcoal black

ehhh I think she is one of the few characters you can't really change race simply because of her skin cholor scheme being so integral to her design and making her blacker would only be awkward

but if the concept art didnt made your dik go hnnng then youre a fag, this goes to the sprgs complaining
